The tide is turning at Twitter - already...

The left-wingers will probably be bailing out on Tweeting now that that 'hate-monger racist from South Africa' owns the platform... 

 

Or, at the very least we can hope they do.

 

Right wing figures on Twitter such as Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump Jr have seen their Twitter followers soar, while left wingers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Barack Obama slump. 

 

Twitter on Tuesday confirmed that the dramatic fluctuations in the number of followers since Elon Musk's takeover was announced was organic, and not due to any change in their policies. 'While we continue to take action on accounts that violate our spam policy which can affect follower counts, these fluctuations appear to largely be a result of an increase in new account creation and deactivation,' Twitter said in a statement. Yet Trump Jr said he suspected there was more to the fluctuation than that. He repeated widespread right-wing speculation that their Twitter follower counts had been artificially suppressed, to try and downplay their support and influence. He also suggested that the controls were being lifted, before Musk brought in new management, to avoid an embarrassing expose of practices. '

 

"While I'm awesome and totally deserving of 87,000 new followers a day it seems that someone took the shackles off my account. Wonder if they're burning the evidence before new mgmt comes in?"
